For as long as I can remember, I've thought my grandfather was doing things strangely.

My grandfather always carried a sack on his back in the middle of the night and ran secretly into the mountains, and the sack that my father packed had to be high by one person, although the sack was filled with bulging sacs, and it only had a little weight when he carried it up.

I've always wondered what my grandfather's sack contains? But he could not untie the rope that bound him to the sack.

I wanted to take a knife and make a cut in the sack, but my grandfather looked at the sack so closely that I couldn't find a chance.

I asked him a few times, and my grandfather told me that it was paper money burned for a friend.

My grandfather never burned paper for my mother, but can he burn paper for others? Moreover, every time he came back, he couldn't see the paper ashes on his body, but the smell of dirt all over his body.

My grandfather went up the mountain to dig the soil?

Later, the village chief led the police to find my father, and I realized what my father had done.

The village chief said: Someone saw my father quietly burying a sack in my mother's grave, thinking that there was something good hidden there, so he stole the grave.

As a result, two of the three people robbing the tomb died on the spot, and one of them went crazy and shouted: "There are ghosts!" Female ghost in red. ”

My grandfather was so angry that his face turned blue: "That couple deserves to die, what are you asking me for?" ”

The village chief said, "Why are there so many red-clothed paper figures buried in your grave?" Not to mention the iron chains tied to the paper figures, there are nails in their eyes. ”

"You have nothing to do to dig up your daughter-in-law's grave, just to bury paper people in it? You can't be playing some evil ways, right? ”

My grandfather didn't give the village chief any face: "I'm happy, you take care of it?" Is it illegal to bury paper? ”

"You are so in charge, go back and prepare a shroud for the rest of the man, he will die tonight."

The village chief was so angry that his face turned blue and white for a while, and he couldn't ask anything from my father? That's all.

As soon as they left, my father tied a paper figure about the size of me and threw it on the kang.

When I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw a paper figure lying next to me, and I was immediately frightened.

I said to my grandfather, "Can you throw the paper figure somewhere else?" ”

But my father scared me with ghosts, saying, "In the middle of the night, a ghost catches a child, and I put the paper figure next to you, and when the little ghost comes, he won't catch you." ”

I really scared my grandfather and obediently lay down next to the paper figure to sleep.

On the third night of my grandfather's paper man, I slept until midnight when I suddenly heard a movement that looked like someone scratching the kang mat with his fingernails.

I didn't dare to open my eyes after I woke up, for fear of watching the little ghost come to arrest people, as my father said.

I held my breath until the movement was gone, and then I quietly opened my eyes.

I saw that the paper figure that my father tied seemed to have climbed out of the kang halfway, with two hands supporting the ground and his feet hooking the edge of the kang, hanging in the air.

I was so frightened that I got out of the bed, only to find that my grandfather didn't know when he was sitting on the kang, and one foot pressed the back of the paper man, flattening the middle of the paper man.

Before I could speak, my father glared: "Why are you not honest when you sleep, kick all the paper figures to the ground, hurry up and sleep." ”

I was so frightened by my father that I didn't dare to make a sound, so I obediently lay back in the bed, but I heard my father say to himself: "No, I have to change to another trick." ”

Early the next morning, my father went up the mountain to tinker with the trees, and it took half a month to plant six poplars in front of my house and six weeping willows behind the house.

People outside say that my grandfather is confused, who doesn't know, don't plant poplars in front of the house, and don't plant willows behind the house, which one is this?

Not only did my father not listen to anyone's persuasion, but he also killed chickens and poured wine to welcome the twelve trees, saying that they would be a family with the twelve trees in the future.

That day, my father also set a rule: in the future, you can buy other paper jobs with him, and the boy must use the paper man brought by my father, otherwise, he will definitely not stretch out his hand if he likes to find someone to do white things, and who to do.

For this matter, I didn't dare to look up at people for a long time, it was too embarrassing, I was a relative of a dozen trees, and I robbed someone else of a paper figure business. What's going on?

I didn't expect that those trees were like blowing air, and they would grow several times in a few years, blocking the front and back walls of my house.

I always complain about my grandfather, why do you have nothing to do with planting so many tree trunks? Not to mention blocking the light, there is also a call.

My father saw that I was not happy, so he coaxed me and said that he would take me out to dinner, and I was quite happy, but when I went, I realized that he was taking me to do white things for others!

I reluctantly followed my grandfather to the door of the east house, and the owner dragged my father aside and whispered: "I know your old rules, as long as there is a white matter, you must use the paper figure you brought." ”

"Our family has already set up paper work, and all the boys and girls are ...... You see, you have brought a virgin, and there is not one less of them? Can you not use this paper man? We will take care of the paper work. ”

My father's face sank: "My paper man has never wanted money, if your family doesn't use my paper man, I'll turn around and leave." You can find whoever you want to do in your family. ”

The proprietor said with a smile: "A paper figure is not worth much, and besides, you don't charge money all the time." For this little thing, I also offended my colleagues who sold paper, which is not appropriate? ”

My father said with a calm face: "Which paper seller in ten miles and eight towns dares to call me out?" Lao Tzu, standing at the door of his house and coughing, his paper work can lift him out and make his mouth crooked! ”

"You go and tell the paper seller that I did your white business, what do you think he said?"

The owner had no choice but to go to the paper seller, but the person who sold the paper turned his face with the owner on the spot, "You are looking for the old man to do white things, why didn't you say it earlier!" He walked away with the boy he had pierced.

I also asked my grandfather, "How did that house go?" ”

My grandfather smiled and told me: "Our paper man is doing well, he can't compare to ours, I'm sorry!" ”

When my grandfather spoke, he just thought he was fooling the child, and he didn't take it to heart, but I paid attention.

I quietly glanced at my grandfather a few times, only to find that the paper figure that my grandfather tied was a lot taller than the "virgin" of that family, and it was also fatter several times.

The paper man stared at a pair of empty eyes, without eyes. My grandfather put toy eyeballs on the paper figures. If he put the paper figure there, if he didn't look carefully, he would think it was a real person.

After I went back, I was wondering, how is my father's paper man different from other families?

I pondered for several days, but I didn't come up with a reason, so I took advantage of my father's absence to move the paper figure out.

When I lifted the paper man's clothes, I was even more dumbfounded.
